Best news ever! In the dog world, popular translates into over-population and saddness. That, and not everyone is cut out to be owned by a Scottish Terrier- they are surprised that the dog not only responds to his/her name sporadically, but the dog doesn’t act like ‘Jock’ in Lady and The Tramp!

The AKC list is really about the number of dogs litters( or dogs) registered with the AKC, it should not be used to say what dog is necessarily more popular. I do, however, agree with the opinion that being popular translates to over breeding and potential puppy mills.

I don’t place importance on what “breed” is most popular….
like anything else, who wants to just follow the crowd because someone suggests it. I have Scottish Terriers in my life because it’s just meant to be. They’re special creatures that us “unpopular” people know can make our lives a great experience having them share it. Who would rule out any animal because it wasn’t deemed “popular”!!!
